THE RAFT, KORAMANGALA

Tickets: ₹499, via Skillbox

Three wide-ranging rock bands come together to head out on the road for The Noises In The Attic tour, put together by event/artist company BlueTree and featuring Mumbai-based Blakc, New Delhi-origin Mocaine and Bengaluru-based simplemanradio. They kick off their five-city run of shows in the city, performing at The Raft in Koramangala. Expect alt-rock, grunge-era inspired intensity and psychedelic/punk sounds as well.

Amrit Mohan, founder and bandleader of Mocaine, says they have expanded their lineup for the Noises In The Attic tour. With Varun Sood on drums (who is also behind the kit for Blakc), Mocaine also has Aman Shah on bass and Sanmeet Singh as second guitarist. Amrit adds, “In Bangalore, of course that will grow into a bigger six-piece by the end of the set with sax and keys.”

The band will perform from their albums The Birth of Billy Munro and The Story of Jonah Stone, plus their upcoming third full-length that carries forward the narrative of the characters in the Billy Munro fictive universe. “A little less than half our set is unreleased material, from both Billy part three and a standalone album that will come out this year. We’re excited to play at The Raft for the first time, the BYOB concept is very intriguing, can’t wait to experience it,” Amrit adds.
